# Tyrol Governor Requests Fuel Price Investigation

September 22, 2026 at 05:12 PM

> Governor Anton Mattle calls for a federal investigation into fuel price disparities between Tyrol and eastern Austria to ensure fairness.

**Tyrol** Governor **Anton Mattle**, leader of the state's ÖVP, officially requested the Austrian federal government to launch a price investigation under the **Price Act** on Tuesday. Mattle claims **fuel prices** in Tyrol are consistently higher than in eastern Austria.

The state of Tyrol announced legal action against the so-called Tyrolean fuel surcharge to clarify pricing for diesel and premium gasoline. Mattle criticized the slow pace of price reductions and stated the free market for fuel is not functioning correctly.

This investigation seeks to determine if regional price differences are explainable by objective cost factors. By taking legal steps, the state aims to ensure fair pricing and transparency for consumers regarding the current costs of gasoline and diesel.
